I'm not sure which is the bigger embarrassment for RINOs, conservative or Christian. He's both, so that probably makes it doubly embarrassing for these "cheap liberals."
They’ll do the same to him as they did to Herman Cain.
DING! DING! DING!! Here's the money line!!
Bingo! Anyone know if Jackson has any Tea Party groups backing him?
Bowling (sic) is hardly conservative. Bolling, the sitting Republican Lt. Gov. of VA, was all over the air this week condemning the outcome of last week’s GOP Convention in Richmond that nominated Cuccinelli/Obenshein and Jackson all of whom are unquestionably conservative.
Bolling withdrew from the race for the GOP Governor nomination against Cuccinelli when the state committee decided on a convention that would be dominated by conservatives vs. holding an open primary for our candidates. He’s done nothing but badmouth Republicans ever since. He can join Marshall Coleman in the Hall of GOP Spoilsports.
Read my tag line.
The GOP does not have a problem with Blacks, its the Conservative part that sets their teeth on edge.
E.W. Jackson is great. I was there at the convention as a delegate as was my wife. E.W. gave the best speech of all the convention Lt Gov candidates. I didn’t go into the convention supporting him but on the second round I switched and supported him through the 3 remaining rounds of votes. I did see on twitter where some were starting to play games against Jackson but it seems to have evaporated. E.W. is not an empty suit. He was a marine, graduated from Harvard Business School and practiced law for 15 years. My take is if E.W. Jackson isn’t good enough for the Republican Party then the Republican party has bigger problems than Democrats.
I don’t see the issue. Ken Cuccinelli and Mark Obenshain both are just as conservative as E.W. Jackson though they are not as outspoken but is that the place where we want to be where its ok only to be conservative with tight lips, passionateless and cold? That approach will never win blacks/minorities nor will it win young people. Low information voters need to be given something to believe in. A phrase that sticks in their head a sense in their gut that someone is worth supporting. If it were just a case of reasoning the GOP would never lose but the problem the GOP faces is one of mundacity. How are we to expect people to want to join our ranks if our leaders appear to be scared of their own shadows unable to stand publicly for what they believe without stammering?
E.W. is a great guy and if I were Ken Cuccinelli I’d be using E.W. as a strength.

“I became a Republican because of what the party stood for... Individual freedom, traditional values, with a view that governments role is to protect our freedom at home and abroad.”
It’s so refreshing to read the writing of someone who gets it, even (or perhaps especially) if it IS becoming increasingly rare.
Hmmm, I lived in Virginia when the first black Governor in the nation was elected. For the first graders who post on here, his name was Doug Wilder.
Likely led by the dipwad Repub Cantor...worthless is too good a word for this prick!
The GOP hatred of conservatives is colorblind.
